Identify This Crank

[FireSale]

I did Google it. This thread comes up in the search now...

I sent the photo to Eagle and they said the crank is cast. The "C" in the part number stands for cast. I ordered this one:

The Crank I Ordered at the Place That Isn't Listening to Me

The 300 is the stroke and the 5090 is the rod length. That's all they have in common.

Dale,
It would be a lot easier to tell with a picture taken from a little further away but I would trust what Eagle says. I have used a fair number of their cranks and have found some unusual part numbers. Its pretty easy to tell the cast from the forged ones from a little further away

Here is a picture of one of my 4340 SBF Eagle cranks for comparison.

Just wondering, how much trust would you put in Communist Chinese statements?

Unfortunately all of the steel, good and bad, seems to come from China these days

Since the crank was most probably already in the box at the warehouse in Ohio, someone or some machine made the mistake of boxing the wrong crank or just using the wrong label. All I expect the seller to do is make it right.

Brian: Thanks for the pic. I wondered if they put an identifier on forged cranks, too. That's what mine is supposed to look like.

BTW, I saw Alan at the last Test nTune at Pacific Raceway and he bought that Chevy Cavalier he was talking about last year. Put his old motor in it and ran a 9.40 at 145 something. GT/AA.
